Actually you can run OSX on many PCs but, of course, Apple makes it illegal to do so with its insistence that OSX be run only on Apple hardware, which is now no different than PC hardware with a different sticker on it. Sometimes the case is pretty cool looking to make up for the rapacious price. But as you mention, Alienware does the same thing.
Since I bit the bullet and made my own PC, I'm a nuts and bolts guy. I want to be able to swap in a new motherboard, microprocessor and memory to upgrade instead of buying the whole shooting match over again. That keeps me out of the laptop and Apple markets.
If Apple was smart, they'd put the arm on the game companies to produce Apple versions. Then maybe they'd make me happy and produce Linux versions too! Once people found out that they could play the game with twice the speed on a free operating system, they'd check it out. That might put additional pressure on both Microsoft and Apple to put the customer first and quit making lightening wallets their only goal. |
You know they actually started to do that early on but later made the decision that they (Mac) wanted to be taken seriously for serious work no time for silly games
Which is kind of weird as IBM had taken the same stance early on and look what happend
